List of conferences on cloud computing

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I am rather flexible in what I will accept as passing NOT DIRECTORY, but this is a prime example of what the rule was designed to eliminate. Of the conferences listed, none of those specifically on cloud computing are notable--the only ones that have Wikipedia articles are general conferences of programming. If there are notable conferences on this subject, a list might be appropriate, but the first step is to write the articles on them.

Strong keep: notable and interesting. Sources to expand.--Knight of Infinity (talk) 19:09, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete None of the conferences on cloud computing (as opposed to general conferences) on the list would pass the WP criteria for stand alone articles so absent any with own article the list fails. In addressing Knight of Infinity claim of "interesting" please look at WP:ATA. LGA _talk^edits 23:30, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Most of the items on the list aren't conferences on cloud computing, and once you edited them out you'd be left with mostly non-notable entries, as LGA says above. To produce an encyclopedic article, we would need information on the conferences, sourced to reliable independent sources. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:21, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as half of the items on this list aren't notable in and of themselves. It seems like a pointless list. MezzoMezzo (talk) 10:05, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
